Kennedy, and the Presidential Transition That Changed America","description":"\u003cb\u003eA monumental new history reveals how the transition of power from Eisenhower to Kennedy marked more than a succession of presidents--it was the culmination of a generational shift in American politics, policy and culture.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter winning the presidency by a razor-thin victory on November 8, 1960 over Richard Nixon, Dwight D. Eisenhower's former vice president, John F. Kennedy became the thirty-fifth president of the United States. But beneath the stately veneers of both Ike and JFK, there was a complex and consequential rivalry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Rising Star, Setting Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, John T. Shaw focuses on the intense ten-week transition between JFK's electoral victory and his inauguration on January 20, 1961. In just over two months, America would transition into a new age, and nowhere was it more marked that in the generational and personal difference between these two men and their dueling visions for the country they led. The former general espoused frugality, prudence, and stewardship. The young political w?derkid embodied dramatic themes and sweeping social change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExtensively researched and eloquently written, Shaw paints a vivid picture of what \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e called a \"turning point in the twentieth century\" as Americans today find themselves poised on the cusp of another watershed moment in our nation's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John T.
